Ethernet switch market grows in Q2? Ethernet Cables

Ethernet switch market grows in Q2? Ethernet Cables The global Ethernet switch market expanded in the second quarter of the year, according to new research.

A market research report from Dell'Oro Group has revealed that the Ethernet switch market grew eight per cent compared to the first quarter of the year.

The firm partly attributed the growth of the industry to the rising number of data centres which are embracing 10 Gigabit Ethernet in Top-of-Rack and Blade switches.

"The Ethernet Switch market rebounded strongly in 2Q11 as Fixed Ethernet switches reached record levels for both revenue and port shipments during the quarter," said Alan Weckel, senior director of Ethernet Switch Market Research at Dell'Oro Group.

"10 Gigabit Ethernet continues to be the main driver of revenue growth in the market as customers continue significant investments in the data centre."

Dell, Enterasys, Extreme, and Juniper all grew their fixed Ethernet switch revenue by more than 20 per cent in the second quarter, according to the report.
